RIP, Evel: Videos of America’s legendary daredevil

Evel Knievel has died at the age of 69, years after having survived some of the most dangerous daredevil stunts Americans have ever seen.

The AP story mentions two crashes for which he was well known — one at Snake River Canyon in 1974 and one at Caesar’s Palace in the 1960s.

On YouTube, these videos are filling up with comments from fans, like this one posted on the comment board to the following video of Evel Knievel at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas: “RIP Evel, there will never be another one that even comes close to you.”
